I did leave the window open and use no VOC/low fume paint. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-paint-while-pregnant#post-124033 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:39:03 +0000 mrsjyw 124033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on painting... but I'm sure DH will end up doing most of the grunt work. Thankfully there's a huge window and a ceiling fan in the room that will be the nursery :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-paint-while-pregnant#post-123795 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 04:39:31 +0000 mediagirl 123795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I ended up getting banished from the room when my husband decided he was doing the painting. :-) I'll admit, he does a better job than me anyways. Ha! I got to do the cleanup... I think I'd prefer to paint... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-paint-while-pregnant#post-122352 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 13:43:41 +0000 owlmom 122352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I painted with non VOC paint while pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-paint-while-pregnant#post-122344 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 13:37:54 +0000 MamaG 122344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, painted the nursery 3 colors by myself. Windows were closed but the fan was on. I used low or no VOC paint and was just fine. It took me longer than it normally would have as I took lots of breaks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-paint-while-pregnant#post-122317 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 13:07:08 +0000 LAGS 122317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm taking a break from painting at this very moment! We're one room away from finishing repainting all of our ceilings. I also painted the nursery. I just try to pick milder days where I can open up the windows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-paint-while-pregnant#post-122144 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:37:21 +0000 chopsuey 122144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't! Probably would have if we had something to paint though. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-paint-while-pregnant#post-122084 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 07:28:28 +0000 heffalump 122084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, my husband is way too paranoid for that. We moved when I was 8 months so we had a whole house to paint. We hired someone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-paint-while-pregnant#post-122039 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 05:42:02 +0000 Andrea 122039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, the hubby did it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-paint-while-pregnant#post-122037 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 05:39:51 +0000 winniebee 122037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but it's because we didn't paint anything while ive been pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-paint-while-pregnant#post-121989 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 01:38:36 +0000 His Barista 121989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I helped.

I love to tackle projects around the house. Since I have been pregnant I have painted the bathroom, baby nursery, and dining room. I have also done a ton of spray painting, but those projects were always outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-paint-while-pregnant#post-121964 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 23:16:33 +0000 lemondrop 121964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband did most of it, but I did paint some with the windows open and fans running. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-paint-while-pregnant#post-121963 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 23:01:25 +0000 yoursilverlining 121963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I helped paint the nursery with my parents. I wasn't going to sit around and direct them! Window was open, but no fan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-paint-while-pregnant#post-121928 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 21:38:12 +0000 lavender 121928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a rebel and painted with windows closed and no mask! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-paint-while-pregnant#post-121924 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 21:37:10 +0000 Mrs. Bee 121924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we had a painter paint our entire apt with no voc paint while i was 8 months pregnant. so i didn't paint, but there was a lot of paint in our apt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-paint-while-pregnant#post-121899 Fri, 13 Apr 2012 21:21:20 +0000 mediagirl 121899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll admit it, I'm taking charge of painting the nursery.
